Default Very very nice

Mike, I am waiting delivery on my Santorin S4 and was planning very similar set-up to what I see on your car: Alcons, coilovers, Fikse or Kenesis 18x18.5. Any reason why you did not go with 235s? Good luck with your S4, its a beauty.

Doug

Did not want to raise the car up and with the 235s would have been a little to tight.

Default If you choose the Kinesis, you could go for 18x8's, and 235's would be easier to fit.

Or you could roll your fenders crazy and get something as big as 255's on an 18x8.5 Fikse or Kinesis if you wanted (ala Corey S). I think 235's on a 18x8.5 might require slight rolling.

Default because they will rub. The 8.5 dont fit, i tried it. I have the K58s and am in Dallas in case

you want to check them out. I have the 18x8s with 235s and they still rub a little. Unless you plan on getting your fenders rolled id go with the 225s.

235s on 8.5 rubbed because of your offset. There are folks runnin' 255s on 8.5 w/ right offset

Default can you get the FM/5 in 18x8?

All the 18" FM/5 that I see are 8.5" wide.
